Now a third consecutive clean sheet against Grazer AK tonight should be good enough to put us into the next round of the UEFA Cup.

If we bring 'em back here all square, then we can stuff them at the Riverside.

After all Rangers beat them 3-0 in the group stages and Rangers didn't even qualify for the third round.

But if we do get past the Austrians, then the going will get really tough.

As far as I am concerned we have had it pretty easy so far.

Banik Ostrava were no great shakes, Egaleo were hardly a team worthy of Europe, while Lazio looked no different from Coventry. They even played in Coventry's strip.

Villarreal was the toughest so far, and that's when we really found out what Europe is all about.

But Grazer AK are no Villarreal, and we can beat them.

Then we will really have to battle because it doesn't really matter if we get Feyenoord or Sporting Lisbon in the next round, because they will both be difficult.

The main thing at the moment is to keep building on the last two results and put together a couple of good performances against Grazer.

I don't know whether Steve McClaren will stick with three central defenders tonight, but it certainly worked well at Bolton.

Chris Riggott was back at the Reebok and he had a great game.

The papers were saying last week that he is an England possible, and why not?

He is still behind players like John Terry and Sol Campbell, but he's as good as Ledley King.

Riggott has bided his time and when the chance has come he has taken it.

He's shown that he is a very good player.

He is elegant and he is the best defender when coming out and passing the ball.

I'm sure that Gareth Southgate was delighted to see him back because the captain has had a lot of extra responsibility over the last few weeks.

McClaren also played Franck in the middle and I thought he did well.

He looked as though he had been playing centre-back for years.

The wing-backs did well, too, but it wasn't just about the back line because Bolton got through on a few occasions.

Behind them, Mark Schwarzer had a fantastic game.

He has been criticised by a few people recently and was due a good game - and he picked the right opportunity to turn on the style.

His double save early on was tremendous, even if Kevin Davies really should have scored from the follow-up.

Schwarzer has another job to do tonight, but hopefully it will be a bit easier than Bolton.

Grazer haven't played for a while because it's been their close season.

If you believe all these stories about fatigue and tiredness, then we will be cream crackered and Grazer will be up for it.

I don't really think that's going to happen, but if we want to beat them, we have to approach the game right.

McClaren likes to change his side for European games, but he doesn't have too much to play with at the moment.

Parlour and Zenden should be back after suspension so they should come straight back to strengthen the midfield.

The fans have been coming on the Legends and saying that young Morrison will drop out, but I hope that he doesn't.

He is the best player we have got on the right side and he doesn't deserve to be left out.

Morrison had a good game at Bolton and is adding something to the team.

Ray Parlour said the other day that Morrison and Tony McMahon are capable of following Stewart Downing into the England team over the next few years and I totally agree with that.

First of all, they have to be given their chance here so they can establish themselves in the Boro team.

The great thing about our kids is that they have come in and not been fazed at all. They have played without any fear, but you do get that in young players because they aren't aware of the pitfalls like the experienced players.

If McClaren has to pitch in a few kids at Grazer then they won't let us down.

It's gonna be a cold night, but then the players won't be feeling it because they will be running about.

I've never known a colder night than the one at Bolton, so this can't possibly be any worse tonight.

Hopefully, the Boro lads can produce the goods and help keep us Pressmen warm.
